Catherine Smith MA (Cantab) FCA CTA

“I am driven by the desire to help my clients create successful and profitable businesses.

About Catherine
Catherine is a qualified Chartered Accountant and Chartered Tax Adviser, with a proven track record in helping business owners to develop efficient and profitable enterprises. She is an expert in using Xero cloud accounting and demonstrating how businesses can maximise the functionality of the software to make a big difference to their day to day management and long term success.
Outside of work, Catherine likes to spend time outdoors with Brengi and Iain. She is also a scuba diver and tries to run. Occasionally. On a good day. In the winter she enjoys cooking, baking, and playing Board Games.
Mary Lander
Mary joined the team in 2020 and is a qualified Accounts Assistant, who is working towards an ATT Tax qualification, with the view to continue and qualify as an accountant. She is also studying a BSc Open University Open degree with Maths in her spare time.
When she isn’t busy studying Mary likes to crochet, as well as other crafts, and tend to her varied garden, unless the weather is nice enough to walk along the beautiful Cornish coast.
“Whilst ensuring the day to day financial tasks run smoothly and on time, I take pride in knowing that I can assist businesses and Catherine to destress and share the load. Always willing to learn and improve, I then pass my new found knowledge and skills on to the clients to help them to understand ways of running their business more efficiently.”
